The World Liberty Congress stands in unwavering solidarity with our president, Masih Alinejad, in light of the alarming new revelations concerning the assassination plot orchestrated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). The recent charges brought by U.S. federal prosecutors against Ruhollah Bazghandi, a senior IRGC official, and others linked to the Islamic Republic of Iran, reveal the regime’s shocking and sustained efforts to silence dissidents abroad, even on U.S. soil.
This attempt to assassinate a fearless advocate for human rights serves as a stark reminder of the brutal tactics the Iranian regime employs to suppress voices of freedom, both within and beyond its borders. The IRGC’s track record of terror—responsible for the repression, torture, and murder of countless Iranian dissidents—mirrors its wider destabilizing activities in the Middle East, including the provision of drones to Russia for use in Ukraine.
At the World Liberty Congress, we unequivocally condemn these heinous acts of violence and reaffirm our commitment to defending the rights of those who courageously resist dictatorship. Masih Alinejad’s resilience, despite these ongoing threats, embodies the spirit of millions of Iranians, particularly women, who continue to fight for democracy and justice under the shadow of tyranny.
The Islamic Republic’s campaign of intimidation may seek to silence its critics, but it will never extinguish the global outcry for freedom. Masih Alinejad’s message is clear: “the day of reckoning for the Iranian regime is approaching, and justice will ultimately prevail.” The World Liberty Congress remains resolute in its mission to support all those striving for liberty and accountability.
We call on the international community to intensify efforts to hold the Islamic Republic accountable for its sustained violations of human rights and its acts of terrorism, which threaten global peace and security. The time for action is now, and the forces of tyranny must be met with unified resistance.
